What Boost can i run ?? - and fuel cut ??

Post by boundsw »

Hi there, can anyone help :D

I have a rev 1 Mr2 Turbo.
HKS style air filter
stainless exhaust (still have cat - yet to be removed)
G-reedy Boost gauge
Blitz TT

I have recently fitted a Bleed valve, and would like to know what is the max 'safe' boost i can run on a pretty much standard setup.

I am ordering a knock link, so i will be able to see if i am getting any det, but thats not till the end of the month. :cry:

I can wind it up to over 1.1 bar, :shock: but thought this was going a bit far, so i am at about 0.85 bar at the moment.

also, when i adjusted it to over 1.1 bar, i was not hitting fuel cut ??

I thought fuel cut was at about 12-13psi on a rev 1 ??

cheers warren :o

I stick to a max of 15 psi on a rev 1. Thats what I'm running

I would look around the ECU area/ Diagnostics for a pre-fitted fuel cut defender. This would explain you not hitting fuel cut.
